All,
I must admit that my experience with the MRP Spares Forecast functionality is a bit lacking. When working with a customer on this functionality, several questions arose:
1) Why is the system mandating online consumption flag when the forecast consumption is still happening?
2) Is there an option for forward forecast with online consumption flag turned on
3) Since we cannot add parts to spare parts family forecast without the online consumption flag turned on, what are the repercussions of this approach:
Can we turn it on while assigning the spare parts to the family and turn it off via a script in the background?
4) Are there are any implications of using spare parts forecast without the online consumption flag?
Thanks!
